Puffer Preconf primary sources — 2026-05-11

Official docs

• https://docs.puffer.fi/puffer-preconf/puffer-preconf-intro
  • Frames Puffer Preconf as an EigenLayer-based gateway architecture delivering ~100ms execution preconfirmations for L2s.
  • Emphasizes revenue sharing, multi-gateway neutrality claims, and execution-preconf guarantees rather than mere inclusion promises.
• https://docs.puffer.fi/puffer-preconf/puffer-preconf-protocol
  • Describes the operator / validator / gateway / Commit-Boost / RewardsManager split, lookahead scheduling, and direct gateway-to-gateway L2 state sync.
  • Useful for the current control-plane read: temporary exclusive L2 write access sits with the active gateway.
• https://docs.puffer.fi/puffer-preconf/puffer-preconf-validators
  • Clarifies Phase 1 validator participation: gateway delegation, Gattaca as the present gateway, no validator slashing yet, and ETH-denominated reward flow.
• https://docs.puffer.fi/puffer-preconf/puffer-preconf-roadmap
  • Important caveat document: Phase 1 is live-soon / reward-forfeiture only, with multiple gateways and full slashing deferred to later phases.
